THE NEW SCALE
Now Being Voted on by A~malgamated
Association Lodges.

Now Being Voted on by Amalgamated
Association Lodges.
The lodges of the A~malgamated Associa-
ton are now engaged in voting on their
proposals Tor changes in the scale for the
year beginning July l, and tine votes given
so far indicate that a radical change in the
basis Of the scale will be vigorously advo-
Gated. General dissatisfaction exists in
Pittsburg regarding the present custom Of
basiug the scale on the price of iron, az
that isithecOmmonest grade OF bar iron, and
workmen claim that it is unfair to them,
rs it does not give a fair average of the
price obtained.
The proposals so far adopted generally
favor an entire change of basis. Instead of
fixing it on the card rate for bar iron alone,
it is proposed to take an average for q
stated time of the price actually obtained
for bar, skelp, sheet, hoop iron and special
ties. BY this mRans it is claimed that a
Just relation between wages and the selling
price will be established. The wOrkmen
complain that manufacturers only sell bar
iron at the card rate when 4 large quantity
OF speciality or other grades are ordered at
the same time. Otherwise they charge an
extra price for bar iron sold above, and, it
is alleged, have frequently sold bar iron
above the card rate.
An advance of the basis of the card rate
from So to $3.50 or So is also proposed.
All favor an advance, but there is a differ
ence rs to whether the new minimum rate
for pudding should be $3.50 or So. The
proposals are all to be sent in to the gen.
eral office by the second Tuesday in April,
They will then be compiled, printed and
distributed to the lodges for their guidance
in i%nstructing delegates to the convention,
which meets in Pittsburgh on the first
Monday in June.

NEW WESTERN BOOM
IN WHICH A NUMBER OF OUR CITIZENS ARE
INTERESTED.
Some Facts Which Night Be Pondsrsd by Wheel
ties to the Advantage
Of the Town.

This evening Major ]. c. Anderson will
leave for Atchison, Kansas, to watch the
effects of the lately inaugurated boom up
on his real estate interests there. The Atch-
ison boom is a thing of very recent growth,
but it is displaying al energy little less
than startling to the people of such staid
and conservative centres as Wheeling, and
if it continues for any length of
time Kansas City will have TO look
to her laurels. The new boom rests upon
the most solid of foundations, too-an even
dozen railroads. Railroads are what gave
Kansas City her great impetus. For years
it was uncertain whether Kansas City or
Atchis0n would be the future great city of
Kansas, but the railroads showed a dispo-
sition to centre at Kansas City, and for the
time being the matter was settled.
Atchison has gradually been gaining
for twenty-five years, however, the nine
railroads centering there helping
very materially in its onward course.
But there was no boom. Two weeks
ago a change came. The city voted n large
amount of bonds in aid OF three additional
roads, and the next day several bankers
and railroad men, backed by the Atchison,
| Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company,
organized a syndicate with a capital of a
million dollars, and within a week il had
bought and sold two million dollars worth
of real estate. Several other large syndi-
Gates have been formed since, the last one
having at its head b. b. Smalley
| of Vermont, and Gov. J. X. Radwell, Of
Maine. The effect of this sort of thing is
apparent in the columns of the Atchison
papers, which are crowded with accounts
of real estate transfers. Property which
could hardly be given away a month ago
now commands a ready sale at phenome-
nal figures, and the thing seems yet to be
in its infancy.
Quite a number of Wheeling and West
Virginia people are interested in Atchison.
Besides the large land interests of Major
Anderson, Carey Anderson, the Majors
brother, J. b. Lindsey, of Mounds
Vile, and DR.. Cochran, Of Wellsburg,
are real estate owners. II is said MIR. Glib
son Lamb may conclude TO 20 into real
estate in Atchison, instead of Kansas City,
and Messrs. Paul, Wise and Others of this
city, are thinking of investing.
While on this subject, it may be of in
terest to our readers TO know that Major
Anderson planted, in 1853, the first grove
of trees set out in Kansas. They were cot
tonwoods, and are still standing, the local
ity being known to this day as Alderson's
Grove.

OF the Natural Gas Company, Causes Tenn
porary suspension of the Top Mill.
About noon yesterday the Wheeling Nat,
ural Gas Company received q telephone
message informing them that there was a
break somewhere on their line, and on
sending a messenger out 1t was discovered
that there was a had break in the main
line between the Top Mill and the first toll
gate. Men were Immediately sent out II
repair the break, and the valves at the
station above the toll gate and
at Tenth street were shut off, compelling a
temporary suspension of work at the Top
mill. The pipe Wa repaired and the gas
again turned on, by three o'clock. The
accident is supposed to have been coca.
stoned by the contraction of the pipes on
account Of the recent cold weather. The
Top mill WAS the only n affected by the
break, as the other mills and glass houses
on the other side of the river were supplied
by the main which crosses the river at
Thirty-third street.

TWO NEW INVENTIONS
Which Promise to Bring a Big Return to
Their Owners.

Which Promise to Bring n Big Return to
Their Owners.
James w. Bryant, of Benwood, in con-
nection with p. J. and Matthew Altmyer,
have invented q self-feeder for a nail
machine, which surpasses anything of the
kind heretofore gotten up. Its most COM
mendable feature is, that it has not a sin
gle coy wheel about it, but leeds from the
end of the plate. 1t is constructed i'll a
most simple manner, and is not, therefore,
liable TO get ont of repair, as is the case
with other feeders now in use. The
present machine was built at Redman's
machine shop, and is a fine piece of work.
Secretary of State Walker is in receipt
of a letter from C.. l.. Kline, of Steuben-
vile, Ohio, who claims to have a patent
car heater, which he wants tested by the
railroad commissioners Of this State. As
there are no such commissioners the mat
ter is at the option OF the railroad compan-
les. The inventor claims that the invention
does away with stoves, hot water, steam or
hot air, and that it can be attached to a
train of ears and worked without any eX-
pense whatever.
What this invention is, it is hard to tell.
But if it will heat cars without stoves,
steam, hot water or hot air; and without
any expense after it is attached, it will
revOlutiOnize more than car heating.
